This book is magic. It came into my life at the perfect time, precisely when I needed to read it. The charming little illustrations, and the creepily quaint inhabitants were a joy to see and imagine and spend time with. The book arrived just yesterday, and I've already finished a bit more than half of it and am now mourning the end. I thought the magic had gone out of December for me this year, but some of it has come back in with 'Malamander'. 🖤

Book: Malamander by Thomas Taylor.

Happy #InternationalWomenDay! This year, the campaign focuses on the equity with the message, #EmbraceEquity. Women have come a long way but we still have a lot of work to do and that is shown with recent events. More opportunities need to be created in order for our society to create a more equal outcome. And reading books are a great way to start. Some of the titles shown here are a brilliant start but if you are looking for more and books that are more recent, head to the link in my bio for more fuller recommended list! 🔥🔥🔥 Books Shown: "Fix the System Not the Women" by @laura_bates__ "Activist" by @louisareid "Run Rebel" by @manjeet_k_mann "Misogynation" by @laura_bates__ "Monsters Born and Made" by @tanviberwah "Kiki Kallira Conquers a Curse" by @sangumandanna "My Pen is The Wing of A Bird: New Fiction by Afghan Women" "Abolition.Feminism.Now." by Angela Y.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S. by David Levithan Aidan disappeared for six days. Six agonizing days of searches and police and questions and constant vigils. Then, just as suddenly as he vanished, Aidan reappears. Where has he been? The story he tells is simply . . . impossible. But it's the story Aidan is sticking to. His brother, Lucas, wants to believe him. But Lucas is aware of what other people, including their parents, are saying: that Aidan is making it all up to disguise the fact that he ran away. Being on Aidan's side would mean believing in the impossible. But how can you believe in the impossible when everything and everybody is telling you not to?

I am over the moon to be able to share a sneak peek at these! I had the fantastic opportunity to illustrate two books for #BadgerLearning earlier this year and some teasers were released last week for the #LondonBookFair2023.

These titles are both from Badger’s brand-new Wow! Fiction series, aimed at reluctant readers in the 10-14-year-old age group and, I hope you’ll agree, a good fit for my illustration style!

I got thoroughly immersed in both stories and their characters during this project and I'm incredibly excited for their release.

The range will be published on 8 September this year and I'll be sharing more images and details as and when I'm able.

“As a former Black girl misfit who wanted nothing more in the world than to be magical, this book is a song to my soul. Amari is the heroine we all need.” — Nic Stone, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shuri: A Black Panther Novel  First image reposted from @seahorsestories I finally got around to reading Amari and the Great Game in December and I'm so glad I did! This series is so much fun. If you have a middle grade reader in your life or if you're just looking for a really creative contemporary fantasy read, I'd highly recommend this series! These books are all about friendship, the love between siblings, and dealing with being different from your peers. There's impressive and creative world-building, flamboyant outfits, and magical trials to overcome. These books are great for fans of Percy Jackson! It's kind of like going to school to become a Men in Black-style agent for magical beings rather than aliens. I can't possibly do these books justice. Just go check them out if you haven't yet!

I will almost always check out a new Shazam comic from DC, but I’m particularly drawn towards takes that don’t try to shoehorn him tonally into the mainstream DCU. This one stood out for me by focusing on a more grounded view of Billy Batson as a young teen, and a maybe more realistic(ish) view of how someone like that would adapt to having the powers of a superhero. I hope we get more in this series. #thismakesmehappy #books #2023reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #superhero #shazam #thundercrack #shazamthundercrack #yehudimercado #dccomics #middlegradebooks #middlegradecomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqH_G5vJQH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m VERY bummed that I cannot participate in any of the October drawing challenges this year. People here on IG are posting AMAZING stuff and I’m so bummed to not be at the party. However I’m happy to say that I’m focusing all my extra creative energy on a “spooky” new project that will be keeping me busy for a while. More to come at a later date! #halloween #october #ghost #ghoul #inktober #drawing #cartoonist #illustration #creep #inkdrawing #robbmommaerts #basementdweller #cartoonistsofinstagram #drawingtable #working #middlegradebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjk190Qut6M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Frizzy by Claribel A Ortega and Rose Bousamra: This middle grade graphic novel is amazing! It is going to make so many kids feel so seen! Marlene is a Dominican-American girl who loves hanging out with her loyal best friend and cool Tia Ruby, but she faces a lot of pressure from others around her. Her mom, who has internalized the anti-Black narrative of “good hair” versus “bad hair,” is constantly worried about Paola being ladylike and “presentable.” Presentable, to her, means taming her hair and her fun-loving exuberance into something like her model-esque, demure but catty cousin Diana - but that isn’t who Marlene is, and she knows it. Can she find a way to embrace herself as she is, help her mom understand her, and stand up against school bullies without getting in trouble? Well, maybe not without trouble - but it just might be worth it. This book is phenomenal, with gorgeous, expressive art paired with an honest, compelling, real narrative. It explores family relationships with nuance and promotes self-love while also acknowledging all the systemic factors that play into discrimination based on looks, and that it’s not as easy as “just love yourself and don’t care about what people think.” I can’t wait to get this book on our shelves! It comes out this October. #frizzy #frizzyhair #frizzyhairproblems #frizzyhairdontcare #curlsfordays #curlyhair #graphicnovelsforkids #middlegradebooks #middlegradegraphicnovel #schoollibrarian #librariansofinstagram #librariansfollowlibrarians #teacherlibrarian #mirrorsandwindows #wndb #weneeddiversebooks #representationmatters #claribelortega #alaac22 #ala2022 @claribel_ortega https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfmbn-OuPak/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is the last day of school and the first official day of Mommy-Daughter Summer Bookclub! My daughter wanted to have a dedicated time for the two of us to discuss the books she is reading and I said, “like a book club”’🤣🤣 I picked WILDSEED WITCH by @momteacherwriter as our first pick. My daughter loves fantasy books with female leads or ANYTHING DRAGONS 🐉!! In WILDSEED WITCH, “Hasani’s post-seventh grade summer to do list is pretty simple: Expand her make up YouTube channel and figure out how to get her parents back together” which my daughter will love! I typically read history or non-fiction science books but for her, I will take this adventure. I really enjoy mythology so it’s not that much of stretch! My daughter devours books so fingers crossed she doesn’t beat me to the finish 🤣🤣 What are you doing to keep your children engaged in reading this summer? #middlegradebooks #kidsbookstagram #blackgirlmagic #motherdaughter #bookclub #wildseedwitch #summerreading (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce0_gQkAm8X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I finished 'Malamander' late last night, or really, really early this morning and the last few chapters felt like something out of a dream, to be honest. It's strange how, when the time comes, one feels at a remove from experiences you intended to savour instead. That isn't to say the book disappointed me. It's just that the high of being in it was wearing off the closer I came to the end, and by the time I flipped the last page, what I was mostly left with was a tender sadness that was inevitable, really.

'Malamander' brought back how it felt to experience books as a child- reckless and greedy and full of caprice and whimsy. I loved the illustrations so very much. I loved that the author themself illustrated the entire book. It made an already lovely experience all the more special for me.

This isn't a book review. My feelings for this book are, in part, enmeshed in childhood nostalgia, which elevated an already good book to something wonderful.

Also, I discovered this morning that this is a series?! I can't wait to get my hands on book 2.

When the time is right, of course.

Persistence of Memory: An Excerpt

Captain Sludge stood atop a wooden platform in the glow of torchlight. The red flames flickered as black smoke clouded the surrounding cavern and drifted toward the distant Stalagmite Forest. The rocky jungle left shadows on the cave walls that sparked ideas for new nightmares. There was a rumbling and scores of dark soldiers marched through the entry tunnels toward him. Row after row of…
